Hi Harry, fellow Tempean.
Well, your list might invoke bristling from some, but I gotta say it's the funniest thing I've seen on this site! Although in all fairness to some of the other colorful individuals here, I've been away for a while, so haven't read through all the new entries...

I think we all share that same queasiness when thinking about the destruction of great (historical, sacred, mysterious, you name the adjective...) places, especially ones to which we've grown attached. But I think it's also safe to say that not one person who's tuned into this website is the kind th...

Hi SC (Kupa?) Sorry to hear about the curveballs. But if they're anything like most Diamondback pitchers' curveballs lately, just be patient and you'll bat 'em out of the park. Hehe. Got the Missouri miseries? I had them, too. That's why I moved out here 10 years ago; wish I'd done it sooner. As a f...

As always, good points all. Isn't it reasonable to believe that the cache/mine WAS near the Massacre Grounds, and not just "leftover ore" in saddlebags? This would explain why they would venture "back" into the Sups via the Massacre Grounds area. After all, if they'd hiked throug...

Welcome Thirsty. I'll just braise your second item for now, as that one seems the least hit on by other members of this forum.

Merry Christmas to all. I spent my Christmas day on Black Mesa, and poking around Second Water. For those of you not in the Valley presently, let me just say it's especially beautiful--the Four Peaks are covered with snow (except, oddly the top of the peaks), and there's quite a bit jotting the nort...

Not to paint myself as the "glass is half empty" guy on the forum, but I tend to agree with ya, LDMFAN: it's more than likely that someone has found a "secret" gold mine, perhaps the Dutchman's. I say this because, if anything of that magnitude HAS been found in the past, the dis...

Hi S.C. Speaking of Waltz's sister in Missouri, have you ever had a chance (or even the inclination) to look into this? Like looking up her records? Just curious.

I for one wasn't aware of a Waltz-drawn map. In fact, most (and all that I've heard) accounts have it that he never drew a map. Can I ask where this alleged map is at least referred to?
